Supplier diversity

Our commitment to empowering people and businesses is reflected in our supplier relationships.

Our strategy

We select suppliers based on quality, service, and value. Working with a diverse supply base strengthens our supply chain and creates economic and other benefits.

We track certified diverse suppliers as part of our program and actively engage with nonprofits and government entities to ensure all suppliers participate in our procurement process.

Supplier procurement

We partner with national and regional organizations that provide diversity certifications and support diverse suppliers and organizations seeking to partner with them. We promote our supplier diversity program to increase opportunities for qualified suppliers—and we support nonprofits, trade associations, and government entities that assist and promote similar efforts.

Once the ANID is established and the supplier is invited to begin an engagement, the Santander US Procurement team will train the supplier on how to invoice Santander US using Ariba.
